Each one of us, alone, is but a drop in the sea
Our powers pale compared with the great heroes
Our battles don’t hit theheadlines or shake the earth
But they are few, can’t be everywhere, and we, many
So, when the world or universe needs saving, they come
But when people needs saving, we are the ones to appear
We're underdogs, but we rise up to the challenge to be heroes.

Re: OOTS #1175 - The Discussion Thread
I owe Peelee 5 Quatloos. But I am going double or nothing that Durkon will be casting 8th level spells at the big finale.
I bet Goblin_Priest 5 quatloos that Xykon does not know RC has the phylactery at this point in the tale (#1139).
Using my Bardic skills I see the fate of Belkar...so close!

Re: OOTS #1175 - The Discussion Thread
Dubious. Durkula didn't research Protection from Sunlight and the staff was broken. While the other priests can't attack her, the building will eventually be returned to the mountain as Gontor (the living) suggested. As they all just witnessed what transpired, the priests can simply opt to do that when it's daytime. It's not an attack to carry out normal moot business in the absence of the administrators. The high priests are not responsible if a vampire chose to attend something where there would be an abundance of sunlight and did not prepare any spells for it.

Ross (playing Hilgya): Pshhyeah, of course I brought Ben into battle. When else am I going to see him? What, you think I should just take Ben back to Carol?
Monica (playing Roy): Durkon.
Ross: Durkon, that’s what I said. Besides, look how cute he is!
Chandler (playing Vaarsuvius): Yes, he’s like a little breastplate with a functioning nervous system.
Phoebe (as Elan): And little arms and legs!
Ross: He’s got little bootsies. See?
Chandler: Oh, good. Because that’ll stop a vampire worshiper of a enraged goddess of death.
Joey (playing Belkar): I bet it’s cut right through the little guy. No offense, but he don’t look too sturdy.
Rachel (playing Haley): You know you, uh ... you could have left him with your husband.
Ross: He’s not my husband. WE WERE ON A BREAK!
Chandler: Could Ben be in any more danger?The Giant says: Yes, I am aware TV Tropes exists as a website. ... No, I have never decided to do something in the comic because it was listed on TV Tropes. I don't use it as a checklist for ideas ... and I have never intentionally referenced it in any way.

Re: OOTS #1175 - The Discussion Thread
Looking at the comic again I noticed Misty/Curly escaping as Not Not Thad enters.
The level of detail in this stick figure comic is amazing, and it keeps getting better.

Re: OOTS #1175 - The Discussion Thread
Word of recall must return them to a very familiar place.
Fronty has literally never been to anywhere in their entire life (err... unlife) but the godsmoot.
Im not saying fronty is going to die (err.. undie). There are probably lots of ways fronty can survive. I’m just saying that fronty probably won’t survive with a word of recall.Last edited by Dion; 2019-08-15 at 12:34 PM.

Re: OOTS #1175 - The Discussion Thread
Yeah. Primary point for a cave instead of a structure is that the vampire rules are in play. She can't pop in to some place warded against undead (like most temples), and she can't enter a home unless invited.

Re: OOTS #1175 - The Discussion Thread
Well, I believe Macey McFront will probably survive (unsurvive?) this. The clerics won't probably attack her due to the godsmoot truce, and, after, I don't think she really needs Word of Recall. She can use magic, like 3rd level Stone Shape, with which she's certainly familiar, to provide a place to stay during the day, and then can thus travel by night, albeit slowly, depending on her level and spell capabilities.

Watsonian explanations are internal to the story. Holmes came back

Doylist explanations are external to the story: Sherlock Holmes came back because Arthur Conan Doyle’s fans really really wanted more stories about him and Doyle saw that he could make some money if he wrote more Sherlock Holmes stories.

Re: OOTS #1175 - The Discussion Thread
Even if there isn't some sort of diplomatic immunity covering High Priests on their way to and from a moot, remember that more than half the gods are not of the Good variety and would see protecting the vampire as an opportunity to score some serious points with a strong potential ally. Even some of the Good high priests might see themselves as obligated to offer shade and sustenance to the frontarch just so that next time there's a moot, nobody can argue "The moot is not responsible for the army of bloodthirsty vampires waiting patiently for night to fall after the moot ends."
In other news, the disenfranchisement and dismemberment of the Vampire Party proceeds apace!

Re: OOTS #1175 - The Discussion Thread
Thanks for the explanation, I've seen doylist/watsonian used in the forums often but never really cared enough to find out what they meant (for some reason I thought Doylism was a political/philosophical viewpoint).
And I was being facetious about his typo; he said 'Thank your Mr. Doyle', and I would thank my Mr. Doyle, but I wasn't aware I had one.
Explaining in reply to an explanation of a topic I didn't understand but was comfortable making snarky jokes about: truly Forums in their purest form.
